Garmin GPS 150 - Manual (Page 30)

The GPS 150 keeps track of both UTC time (Greenwich Mean Time, or Zulu
Time, calculated from the satellites) and local time. The GPS 150 will allow you to set

conversion manually. The times displayed elsewhere on the unit can be either local
time or UTC.

when the GPS 150 is on, or when your ground speed exceeds a value you enter. Setting
this feature is covered in Section 5, page 57.
